i love veiling in church
Just found out there will be FOUR baptisms in our church service tomorrow! Praise be to God!
Two newborns, a toddler, and a teenager. It’s going to be amazing!
Wishing everyone a Blessed Palm Sunday!
Ride on ride on in Majesty,
In lowly pomp ride on to die.
Bow Thy meek head to mortal pain,
Then take, O Christ, Thy power and reign!
- Ride on, Ride on in Majesty, v. 5, The Lutheran Hymnal
happy new year and may the Lord be with us in this gentle new year

If you had to pick one image to represent Lutheranism, what would it be and why?
(Note: the image does not have to be depicting something distinctly Lutheran, though it should be indicating something distinctly Lutheran. For example, my pick for my own denomination, Orthodoxy, is the icon of the Resurrection - the Resurrection is, of course, something we all believe in, but the way it's portrayed communicates distinctly Orthodox ideas.
Had to think about this one for a while, and I’m still not sure I have the perfect answer, but I do really like this one:
It’s from the triptych at St. Mary’s Church in Wittenberg (the church Luther did much of his public preaching), created a couple decades after his death.
What I like about this is the emphasis it places on “Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Cor 2:2) being the center of our theology - everything we do should point back to that.
Being Lutheran, what's your opinion on divorce in which no one cheated but abuse has taken place? I dont know if the bible allows for that but if I was getting hit or screamed at by my spouse I think I'd get out and think on heaven later
You are certainly allowed to leave if you are being abused. Get out, file a police report, get a restraining order, get a firearm (especially if you have children who also need to be protected from this person)
"Screamed at" might need more context. Occasional two-sided screaming matches between spouses vs. a consistent pattern of one-sided verbal abuse. The former might be a case for marriage counseling, while the latter would be considered abuse.
The question here is not whether you are allowed to physically leave the home, but whether you are allowed to marry someone else later. The only clear scripture on remarriage addresses infidelity (you leave your spouse because they cheated on you) and the death of the spouse - there is no specific instruction that a person who flees abuse can marry someone else.
If someone has already fled an abusive situation, found safety, and received support in processing the trauma that they went through, and then finds they want to marry someone else, I would tell them to talk to their pastor.
